US officials more than terrorists or criminals.

Republicans Equal Life; Democrats Equal Death?
Keith Olbermann: A special comment about Rudolph Giuliani
We — Democrats and Republicans alike, and every variation

the other terror-mongers trying to frighten us into submission,
into the surrender of our rights and our reason, into this
betrayal of that for which this country has always stood..

Jose Padilla and the Zucchini Prosecution
By Mike Whitney
Get this: Jose Padilla just spent 5 years in solitary confinement
for a crime, which the government now admits, never took
place. The notion that a man can be imprisoned without
proof of a crime is “preemptive justice”, which is no justice
at all. It denies the “presumption of innocence” and cedes
absolute power to the state. Continue

"WE THE PEOPLE" ARE HYPNOTIZED: PRODUCTS OF MADISON AVENUE. WHO COULD BELIEVE IT? SOUNDS LIKE THE "TOOTH FAIRY" DOESN'T IT? YEAH, IT SURELY DOES...

War and the Police State: Complicity of the American People
By Donna J. Thorne
In this era of perpetual warfare, escalating domestic tyranny,
government-sanctioned torture, and a Nazi-like pursuit of
Middle-East domination, one would expect, at the very least,
an audible outcry from the People who proclaim resolute
devotion to the ideals of liberty and justice for all. Yet for the
most part, Mainstream America continues to assume a posture
of apathy, bitterness, or eery silence. Continue

We've entered a euphoric phase of financial arbitrage
capitalism with extreme Ponzi overtones, a pyramid
scheme of revolving credit rackets and percentage

Compassionless Conservatives
By David Michael Green
Imagine our shock at Paul Wolfowitz’s shock.
He not only masterminded humanity’s greatest
current catastrophe, the US invasion of Iraq, but
he did so by fabricating and marketing a complete
mythological cosmology of Good versus Evil
(Bush good! Saddam bad!), the likes of which
might have left even Jim Jones envious and
amazed. And he did so in a fashion that no doubt
brought a posthumous smile to the face of his
graduate school mentor, Leo Strauss. Continue
